What Telemedico does

Telemedico S.R.L. is an Italian privately held telecardiology company headquartered in Genoa, operating as a B2B platform that delivers remote cardiac diagnostic interpretation services through a network of Italian pharmacies, general practitioners, sports medicine centers, occupational health physicians, pediatricians, professional nurses, and residential care facilities (RSA). Founded in 1995 as Medicina Domani Telemedicina by four University of Genoa professors, the company was reconstituted under current leadership in 2006 when CEO Renato Balestrello merged his GreenTel telecommunications/IT background with the clinical direction of Dr. Giuseppe Molinari, who has led the cardiologist team since inception. The service portfolio comprises three core diagnostics — resting ECG (CARDIOweb 12-lead device), 24-hour Holter cardiac monitoring (ClickHolter and Borsam devices), and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (Tensio Web device using IMT inflation technology) — supported by two service delivery modes: Telerefertazione (standard reporting within 24 hours) and Teleconsulto (real-time cardiologist teleconsultation for suspected acute events). In 2013, Telemedico acquired Meditel's business unit, broadening the offering beyond ECG to a complete cardiovascular prevention and care portfolio; the company has since delivered roughly 350,000 services and identified more than 15,000 acute coronary syndromes.

The business operates on a hybrid revenue model combining transaction fees for individual diagnostic examinations, recurring subscription-style service agreements with RSAs and other healthcare facilities, and professional-services revenue from the company-owned Ambulatorio Telemedico clinic in Genoa offering cardiology and pneumology consultations. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; commercial engagement runs through direct field sales supported by a toll-free number and an inside sales line. The technology stack emphasizes clinical reliability and data protection: AES 256-bit encryption is applied to patient data in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and at rest (single-record encryption), with storage on Aruba's ISO 27001-certified IT1 data center in Arezzo and Biotechware's cloud platform spanning France and Ireland, all in compliance with GDPR Article 9 for health data. Quality is governed by an annually recertified ISO 9001:2015 management system applied specifically to telecardiology service processes, and the Genova clinic operates under regional sanitary authorization and accreditation. The company is privately held by management, with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or public listing; headcount is reported at approximately 10 employees, and operations run 24 hours per day, 365 days per year from the consolidated Genoa hub.

The company operates specialized medical devices including CARDIOweb (12-lead electrocardiograph), ClickHolter and Borsam (Holter cardiac monitors), and Tensio Web (ambulatory blood pressure monitor). Services are delivered through an integrated network of pharmacies, general practitioners, sports medicine centers, occupational health physicians, pediatricians, nurses, and residential care facilities.
